Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said this week that his agents have encountered hundreds of thousands of migrants from more than 140 countries -- in the same week he told lawmakers that DHS does not have "operational control" of the southern border.
"So far, in FY23, U.S. Border Patrol apprehended 900,590 individuals from 147 countries," Ortiz said. FY 2023 began in October.
The top five countries for apprehensions were Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, Colombia and Guatemala.
